Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by my trove of chaos, clutter and commotion. I promise to stick to any subject that interests me at the moment, including but not limited to photography, family life, smile-inducing vintage art, musical pursuits, all sorts of coffee snobbery, kitchen success/disasters, or on a most serious note, whatever spiritual lesson the Holy Spirit is teaching me at the moment. I simply adore comments, so please make me a happy blogger and leave one. Or two. Thanks, Friend!

Photasmic Bliss

One thing I learned last weekend: I don’t ever want to be solely responsible for capturing for all eternity the joy and anticipation of some happy couple’s wedding day. In the role of ‘assistant’ photographer, however, I feel right at home. Basically, thanks to the honor my dear friend gave me by asking for my assistance, I got to do what I love -  run around snapping my shutter at people in hopes of achieving something stunningly creative – with none of the responsibility. It was ideal! Here’s a sampling of the legion of pictures I took. (Have I mentioned lately that I love my Nikon D90? Yes, well, I thought it was worth mentioning again!)

The Groom and his men…and their cool blue Vans.

That’s enough of the boys…now here’s the gorgeous bride ~

What I’ve decided is, I really like taking portraits, would love a chance to practice more, and have a long and steep learning curve ahead of me… because intuition and creativity is NOT enough.

I have SO many more pictures from last weekend that I want to post, so if you choose to come visit my blog you know what you’re getting into!

Kari, love, Love, LOVE the pic of the groom playing the game! It's SO classic. Creamy skin tones, intimate moments, beautiful expressions... Moments of complete bliss. Thanks for "tagging along". One thing I learned this week, is that I don't think I would want to shoot another wedding without you!
